4. Clean the carburetor bowl and inlet seat areas as

required, before installing the new parts.

7. Hold the carburetor body so the float assembly

hangs vertically and rests lightly against the fuel

inlet needle. The inlet needle should be fully

seated but the center pin of the needle (on

retainer clip end) should not be depressed. Check

the float height adjustment.

NOTE: The inlet needle center pin is spring loaded.

Make sure the float rests against the fuel inlet

needle without depressing the center pin.

8. The correct float height setting is 17 mm

(0.669 in.) ± 1.5 mm (0.059 in.), measured from

the float bottom to the body of the carburetor. See

Figure 5-47. Replace the float if the height is

different than the specified setting. Do not

attempt to adjust by bending float tab.
